Abstract
|
|
|
Two cases of pulmonary mycetoma were reported and the literatures on the subject
were reviewed. The first case was a 23-year-old male laborer who was entirely
asymptomatic. His chest lesion was found incidentally on a routine chest film, which
revealed a well-defined homogeneous ovoid density topped by a crescent-shaped air
space in the right upper lobe. The second case was a 38-year-old male driver whose
chief complaint was recurrent hemoptysis. The chest films showed cavitary lesions
within hazzy infiltrative densities in the right middle lobe. In both cases, tests of
sputum and specimens obtained by bronchoscopic washing, thru shine and transbronchial
lung biopsy were unremarkable. Diagnosis in both cases were confirmed by the
discovery of fungal elements from the surgically resected specimen.
